Former Love Island star Chloe Crowhurst has made a powerful statement on social media, revealing she has worn a bikini for the first time in four years. The 29-year-old television personality, who rose to fame on the third series of the hit ITV dating show in 2017 alongside contestants like Olivia Attwood and Montana Brown, shared the milestone moment with her followers.
A Journey to Confidence
In an emotional Instagram post, Chloe explained that she had not worn a two-piece swimsuit since welcoming her daughter Aria in April 2022. The reality star admitted to previously lacking confidence about her stomach, making this public display particularly significant. Her caption detailed a transformative personal journey, emphasising both physical and mental progress.
Overcoming Personal Barriers
Chloe wrote passionately about her achievement, stating: 'Feeling proud of how far I've come lately, first time wearing a bikini since having Aria... can't believe I got my stomach out in public.' She credited her recent work with coach Lloyd for creating substantial changes, noting that the difference extended beyond her physique to her mindset.
The television personality elaborated on her transformation, explaining: 'The biggest shift for me lately has been in my confidence, honestly if you told me 3 months ago when I started I'd be wearing a bikini I'd laugh and even on the days I'm not 100%, I'm still showing up.'
Keys to Success
Chloe outlined several factors that contributed to her progress in the lengthy Instagram caption:
- Maintaining consistency with training sessions, even during unmotivated periods
- Achieving protein targets consistently through dietary adjustments
- Developing a better understanding of nutrition with weekly support systems
- Finding enjoyment in the fitness process itself for sustained engagement
She emphasised the importance of professional guidance, stating: 'Having support, guidance and accountability is really a game changer. Something that I've never had with my health and fitness before.' Her trainer responded enthusiastically to the post, writing: 'Absolutely crushing it, Chloe, and a pleasure to coach. Now we take things to the next level.'
Personal Life Context
Chloe's journey occurs against the backdrop of her evolving personal circumstances. Although she became known for sharing provocative lingerie photographs previously, this bikini moment represents a different kind of vulnerability. Following her departure from Love Island, where she failed to find lasting romance, Chloe entered an on-off relationship with former Love Island and TOWIE star Jon Clarke.
Their tumultuous relationship spanned approximately a year, featuring a very public dispute that involved Celebrity Big Brother star Calum Best. Despite briefly rekindling their romance after Jon's split from TOWIE co-star Lauren Pope, the couple ultimately separated in November 2017.
Chloe has since moved forward positively, becoming engaged last year to David, the father of her daughter Aria. This relationship stability appears to complement her growing personal confidence, as demonstrated through her recent social media revelation about body image and self-acceptance.
